My EOS 620 and 50 are in regular use; my 5D is the backup to these Laughing

. T90 is similar to handle to the 620, but very different to use (and obviously not an EOS). My EF-M is now an ornament that I really should sell.

My EOS 600 ( 630 ) has been with me for a long time, but hasn't been used since about 2002 when I went digital with a Canon G3. But I've just put a battery in it, discovered that I have a T2 adapter so I can use my Soligors ( 35, 135, 200 & 300 ) on it, and cleaned a tiny bit of gink off the shutter.
The only decentish af lens I've got is a Tamron 24-70 Aspherical, which I preferred over the Canon kit lens of the day.

I loved this camera, and when it was in a bag that fell off the roof of my old Range Rover, then when I heard the bang I reversed and parked on the bag, I was a bit upset. Evil or Very Mad

But I was insured for new for old, so the insurance company told me to go and buy a new camera and lenses. The 600 was by then discontinued, and I didn't like the replacements at all. So they paid to have it repaired, and I was more than happy.

Playing around with it now I think I'll manage to focus with the standard screen, it's so clear. And set on AV I'll just set the f value the same on the camera as the lens and let the camera set the speed.

I've got some Fujicolor 200 sitting on the desk, I think I'll have a play this week. Wink

I really like the two Canon EOS 1n's I bought for $100 each from the same seller. Both
have the HS grips that use 8 AA's and the second one he sent a bonus grip that uses both
lithium and AA's.

this is from a test roll from the 2nd body, both perform without issues:

Using the EF 50/1.8 II (need to buy some adapters), Arista 200 (Fomapan) at 200,
Rodinal stand for 58 mins, 1:100, 18C, 400ml of developer

The 100% VF is a joy, and diopter adjustment is a definite plus.

Martin, thanks, love the styling with the grip, looks like something Batman would use. Laughing

You nailed the exposure, and the developing was right on too. Very smooth grain, great detail. Man-o-man, I'd love to fall into a deal on just one EOS 1n at that price. Cool

That nifty-fifty does a pretty good job, don't it? As I'm sure you know, it's popular for EOS DSLRs, especially the APS-C ones cuz it winds up being a portrait focal length -- and a fast one.

Thanks, CT, had the camera in Av mode with spot metering, really pleased with how it handled
the light. Scan was 2400dpi on my Epson 4490. Thinking I'll start sending my 35mm negs to Ron
to scan on that fancy Canon FS 4000 (like has nothing better to do Laughing

).

EOS3 + PB-E2 grip.

Only thing I'm not keen on is the hair-trigger release on the grip which gives you 36 frames of your foot in 5 seconds flat if you're not careful...

Oh and the whisper quiet shutter... Laughing

Actually I like it a lot. Cool
